Anyone know what happened to all the "data" that was on 442.com? If you could get your hands on that and include it that would be awesome. I actually think I printed the "tech pages" out once and likely still have it somewhere? We have moved since so no promises. But, if I found it and scanned it all, is there actually a word recognition SW good enough that could re-ascii it from scanned pages?

We have moved since then. Don't recall if they had it copyrighted or if you even can legally copyright technical specs? If they did have it copyrighted, I'm surprised big brother isn't knocking on my door already, you know, since I think I printed it and all . . .??

Well, at least I know the site just hates me, not Canadian's in general. I even downloaded Firefox and it still doesn't work. I can see it, just won't let me get there. Is this the right one? https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&sour...FjAFegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw3wFVe4IvznsZ8-IwSlqsuZ

Yep, that’s it. Don’t know why it’s not working for you, I used the link provided by Bad79 above and it worked perfectly. Not on Android tho, iPhone 5S and 6... (Work phone)
Doesn’t sound like a device issue, more like something within your settings.

Wish I had an Olds :cry:.
You were still welcome on the old Olds Power. If you had an appreciation of Oldsmobile cars and their Rocket V8, all was good. As said if it is going to be nothing but LS swaps, why bother, we have that here. Yah I know, all GM until you swap an Olds V8 in place of the mighty sbc, then the whining begins. I did it in two Chevy trucks, really improved performance.

Thank you for bringing this site back! I was a loyal visitor of that site back in the day. There was so much good Olds information, tech articles, and Oldsmobile performance help! I've joined.
